Situated on 108 acres overlooking downtown New Haven, the Hopkins campus is a vibrant place of learning and activity. Let us welcome you at our annual Open House or during a campus tour.

Academics

Hopkins offers a broad, rich and challenging curriculum, deeply rooted in the classics, humanities and sciences. As students progress, a wide array of electives and opportunities for independent study is offered to allow students to explore their passions and interests.

Athletics

Athletics is an integral part of a Hopkins education. Participation on teams at all levels is encouraged and celebrated, as well as the pursuit of informal and independent athletic achievement. Most Hopkins coaches have teaching responsibilities, underscoring the School's commitment to the student-athlete model of learning.

Arts

The Arts at Hopkins encourage experiential learning, taking risks and developing an inner, emotional vision that is rendered with technical skills. Beyond the many course offerings, students participate in dramatic productions, concerts and gallery exhibitions.

Student Life

Community is a core value of the Hopkins experience. Starting with the Adviser system and extending to clubs, activities and service learning projects, students discover what it means to be fully participating members of a caring community, both on campus and beyond.

Support Hopkins

The generous giving of many alumni/ae, parents and friends of Hopkins has a direct impact on the sustainability of providing a Hopkins education for today’s students and future generations. Support at all levels are needed, meaningful and appreciated.

Student Productions presents "Much Ado About Nothing"

9/19/2018

During the summer, Student Productions was hard at work realizing a production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. The play was directed, produced and starred Hopkins students. The performances were held the first week of school, one of which was outdoors in the Thompson Amphitheater. Weather had other plans for the first performance, which was moved into Lovell Hall. Congratulations to all the students involved, it was a magical production!

Messina, Sicily 1600 Leonato, the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother Don John. Accompanying Don Pedro are two of his officers: Benedick and Claudio. While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter Hero, while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice, the governor's niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for a marriage. In the days leading up to the ceremony, Don Pedro – with the help of Leonato, Claudio, and Hero – attempts to sport with Benedick and Beatrice in an effort to trick the two into falling in love. Meanwhile, the villainous Don John and his allies plot against Claudio and Hero, using their own form of trickery to try to destroy the marriage before the wedding.
